I’ll admit I haven’t been paying attention to the prices of steel lately. But I hear they’re through the roof.
35 bucks a 10 foot stick of unistrut seems crazy.
Normally I buy my stuff off craigslist, but everything seems to have dried up.
I need some horizontal stuff to mount my panels. I don’t really care whether it’s strut or solar mounting rail, or heck, I might even go with treated wood.
But, I wanted to check with you guys to see if you had some cheaper alternatives that were metal.
Here is what I have so far.
Many thanks.
